STOVE-LEG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,171, dated August 25, 1885.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, CURTIS R. HAVERLY and GEORGE E. GARY, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Macon, in the county of Macon and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove-Legs; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in legs for stoves; and it consists in providing the base of the stove with the usual inclined lugs, to which is added a depending stop or lug, which is located beyond the depending portions, the same be ing adapted to be used in combination with a stove-leg having a tongue with inclined sides and a central recess.

In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate our invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the parts detached from each other. Fig. 2 is a sectional view through a stove base and leg, illustrating the position of the parts in use.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the base-plate of a stove, which is provided with converging depending pieces a a, the inner edges of which are inclined, as shown. Between these depending pieces a a is located a transverse block, B, the rear edge of which is vertical, while its front edge is inclined, as shown at b. The parts hereinbefore described are usually formed integral with d, which is of an opposite configuration from 5 the block B.

To attach the stove-leg to the base of the stove it is only necessary to slip the tongue between the depending piecesaa, and when thus placed in position the block will enter the recess D, and will retain the parts against accidental displacement.

By the device hereinbefore described we provide a simple and practical means for securing the leg of a stove in position, and which will retain the same in place when it is desired to move the stove for short distances, and when the weight of the stove rests upon the leg the same cannot be displaced.

\Ve claim- The combination, with the base-plate of a stove having depending and beveled pieces a a and block B, of the leg with tongue D and recess (1, the said block B being adapted to enter said recess, and when the leg is in its
